Safety Zones, Security Zones, Drawbridge Operation Regulations 
and Special Local Regulations

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary rules issued.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document provides required notice of substantive rules 
issued by the Coast Guard and temporarily effective between July 1, 
2002 and September 30, 2002, which were not published in the Federal 
Register. This quarterly notice lists temporary local regulations, 
drawbridge operation regulations, security zones, and safety zones of 
limited duration and for which timely publication in the Federal 
Register was not possible.

DATES: This notice lists temporary Coast Guard rules that became 
effective and were terminated between July 1, 2002 and September 30, 
2002.

ADDRESSES: The Docket Management Facility maintains the public docket 
for this notice. Documents indicated in this notice will be available 
for inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility, U.S. 
Department of Transportation, Room PL-401, 400 Seventh Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20593-0001 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, except Federal Holidays. You may electronically access the 
public docket for this notice on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions on this notice, contact 
LT Sean Fahey, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law, at 
telephone number (202) 267-2830. For questions on viewing, or on 
submitting material to the docket, contact Dorothy Beard, Chief, 
Dockets, Department of Transportation at (202) 366-5149.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast Guard District Commanders and Captains 
of the Port (COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety and 
security needs of the waters within their jurisdiction; therefore, 
District Commanders and COTPs have been delegated the authority to 
issue certain local regulations. Safety zones may be established for 
safety or environmental purposes. A safety zone may be stationary and 
described by fixed limits or it may be described as a zone around a 
vessel in motion. Security zones limit access to prevent injury or 
damage to vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities. Drawbridge 
operation regulations authorize changes to drawbridge schedules to 
accommodate bridge repairs, seasonal vessel traffic, and local public 
events. Special local regulations are issued to enhance the safety to 
participants and spectators at regattas and other marine events.
    Timely publication of these rules in the Federal Register is often 
precluded when a rule responds to an emergency, or when an event occurs 
without sufficient advance notice. The affected public is, however, 
informed of these rules through Local Notices to Mariners, press 
releases, and other means. Moreover, actual notification is provided by 
Coast Guard patrol vessels enforcing the restrictions imposed by the 
rule. Because Federal Register publication was not possible before the 
beginning of the effective period, mariners were personally notified of 
the contents of these special local regulations, drawbridge operation 
regulations, security zones, or safety zones by Coast Guard officials 
on-scene prior to any enforcement action. However, the Coast Guard, by 
law, must publish in the Federal Register notice of all substantive 
rules adopted. To meet this obligation without imposing undue expense 
on the public, the Coast Guard periodically publishes a list of these 
temporary special local regulations, drawbridge operation regulations, 
security zones, and safety zones.
    Permanent rules are not included in this list because they are 
published in their entirety in the Federal Register. Temporary rules 
may also be published in their entirety if sufficient time is available 
to do so before they are placed in effect or terminated. The safety 
zones, special local regulations, drawbridge operation regulations, and 
security zones listed in this notice have been exempted from review 
under Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, because of 
their emergency nature, or limited scope and temporary effectiveness.
    The following rules were placed in effect temporarily during the 
period from July 1, 2002, and through September 30, 2002, unless 
otherwise indicated. This notice also includes rules that were not 
received in time to be included on the quarterly notice for the first 
and second quarters of 2002.

    Dated: November 27, 2002.
S.G. Venckus,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.
